phone to beat grand duos under 20k

J

grand duos or xperia C or lenovo s820 or Canvas 4 or gionee elife E3?

None. Instead get Lenovo P780.

I would suggest to get Xperia Sp

Wait for some time and buy Moto G or Xperia L refresh.

p780 is better in battery. But is it overall better than s820? I liked s 820 for Gorialla glass, Cam and comapct size/light weight.

Gionee Elife E7 mini.

+1 for Gionee E7 mini, forgot about that.

J

Anybody to vote for G pro Lite from LG?Is it too bad?

^ garbage. underpowered and overpriced.

wait for Motorola G (battery life is above average), Elife E7 Mini, Xperia SP (no dual sim). Rest everything is last gen and not worth it.

J

gionee reliable brand in ind?

M

Yes, gionee is much bigger brand.

Gionee is a much bigger brand than the likes of MMX, Xolo etc. All MMX, Xolo etc do is to rebrand original Chinese phones from Gionee, BLU, Allview etc and sell it with their brand sticker

You can see if you search deeper that the so much popular Xolo Q800 is actually Gionee GN708w or The household Canvas handsets are actually BLU Life models.

^^very true

and gsmarena do not have gionee in their list!

because they rarely sell their mobiles outside of their home country. just like BLU, ZTE and a few others to name Gionee is OEM mainly.

wacc to this site desire 501 processor is below grand duos. ppl are bashing grand in almost all tech sites what ur feedback on desire 501? can we consider this better than grand duos?stuck with the choice betn p780 and desire 501?or shud I still go with grand?

Firstly GRAND DUOS is completely ****....
With its crap broadcom SoC it even suffers while making calls ...(coming from 6 month experianced user)
Forget about ANY kind of gaming on galaxy grand.

You can easily make world record in subway surfers guess why?
Because samsung has added 'feature' so that phone will lag too much while gaming to let user score more :lol:

Except camera there is nothing to look at in Grand.

Get Xperia C instead of Grand if u want a phone from reputed manufacturer.

If u can increase your budget to 21k, then S4 Mini is a great phone with qHD AMOLED screen at 4.3", which means its a compact phone + weighs just 108g. It has dual SIM & has better camera than Grand(front camera too). Much better CPU+GPU toooo.... It has great battery life too

not ready to go beyond 20k

but thanks for ur sugg.XC with 4 GB has problem of less storage as per most gsmarena users. Do u still prefer XC over p780?Can I trust lenovo as brand?thats why I was looking for HTC 501.May be that SoC is bad again.

No to HTC. Yes, Lenovo is a trusted brand. But that S4 mini is the best IMO.

if you don't care about camera go with moto g
if you want camera go with galaxy grand 2 newly launched.. wait for some 5% off or some offer and you can get it for 20k..

it has been officially launched already for 22,999

in market it will be available for 22k

in online OP can get it for 20k with a 10 % off coupon/cashback offer or something from ebay or flipkart .. many deals will be available just need to wait 15 days for good deals to arrive and keep an eye..

grand 2 is a much much better product .. it's worthy to wait or pay a little bit extra..

If OP can wait a little bit more he can go for Xperia T2 Ultra .. i don't know whether he will like 6 inch phone or not..
XPeria SP is not an option because it does not have dual sim .. although i would suggest to wait 1 month as all new Phones will be launched in MWC ..
